Nigerian President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Tuesday, met Mr Tony Elumelu, the Chairman of HEIRS Holdings and Transcorp PLC, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The president’s meeting was in the wake of the commendations received from the private sector for his policy decisions on the country’s economy since he assumed office.
Mr. Elumelu, while addressing the reporters after the meeting, delivered the private sector’s commendation to the President while acknowledging that the President had made good decisions in the country’s interest, saying the private sector had been encouraged by the steps taken so far.
He contended that everything done by Tinubu so far had been in the interest of all Nigerians, especially women and the youths, assuring that in the long run, Nigeria will benefit from it all, imploring citizens to be patient with the President.
According to him, “The private sector is encouraged by the bold decisions President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken, and we hope that in the fullness of time, Nigerians will benefit from it because it’s all about the Nigerian people; it’s all about our youths, it’s all about making sure our women are involved and empowered.
“It’s all about ensuring our youths get jobs, and I think. President has this at the back of his mind, and I believe, as a private sector person, that the actions and the decisions the President is taking now will help our people in the long run.”
He appealed to Nigerians to be more patient with the President and the ongoing process, saying, “A bit of patience, you know Rome was not built in a day”.
